I got 28% -- Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker.
I am happy with that title -- given the nature of the test.
I guarantee I could go back and get 90+% without looking at the right answers.
The nature of how they are asked gives away the expected answer.
It is a very poor test -- any one who "passes" should reject their certificate regardless of whether one agrees with them or not.

Also, it is irksome to call "strongly agree/disagree" v. "tend to agree/disagree" more correct. As if we can't quibble with the wording.
Also, given that I misread some of their questions, I could have gotten lower.
Boy, the more I think about it, the angrier I get with the stupidity of that quiz.

Well, I got 88%. But then again, I am fairly conservative.
But I must agree with my more left-minded brethren (and sistren, if that's even a word
), much of the test had absolutely nothing to do with a "Biblical" worldview. In fact, even though I scored high, I am uncomfortable with the test itself. With the (lack of) intellectual honesty that seemed to go into the making of the test. For instance:
"The wording "separation of Church and State" is found in the U.S. Constitution"
Give me a break! That is an issue of knowledge vs. ignorance, it has nothing to do with worldview.
"Your worldview is the foundation of your values and your values are the foundation of your actions."
This goes beyond a "Christian Worldview" question as well.
"George W. Bush is the President of the United States of America."
Speaks to our understanding of Representative democracy, not to any particular worldview.
Both Secular Humanism and Marxism are religious worldviews.
Speaks directly to one's definition of "religious". There are Christians who vehemently deny that Christianity is a religion.
"The original intent of our founding fathers was a form of government that was free to set its own policy only if God had not already ruled in that area. Our founders believed that our man made laws were not to contradict the laws of God."
This speaks to our understanding of American History, not to our Biblical Worldview. What I think this country's founders did can have little to do with my Biblical worldview in general.
I haven't run out of the questions that didn't belong, I just got tired of posting them.
